Pressure cooker vegetable biryani | Bachelor's recipe

Vegetable biryani with step by step pictures and video.

Biryani is a one-pot dish which usually prepared for celebration lunch/dinner or weekends. We can make biryani with or without meat. I have shared some non-veg biryani in my blog. You can check them from the typing in the search box on the right side. I often prepare pulao with veggies and this biryani takes place in my kitchen very rarely.

Here I have used carrot, beans, potato, and some soaked black channa. But you can use cauliflower, green peas. Let us see how to make this quick recipe in the cooker which just takes 10 mins.
